오늘날 컴퓨터의 기술이 발전함에 따라서 하드웨어와 소프트웨어가 갈수록 다양화되고, 네트워크의 컴퓨팅 환경도 다양해져 가고 있다. 또한 사용자가 요구하는 데이터 양도 급속히 증가하고 있고, 네트워크 환경에서 많은 정보들을 얻으려고 한다. 그러나 기존의 데이터베이스들은 서로 다른 모델로 표현이 되어져 있고 각기 서로 다른 운영체제에서 사용되고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위해서 미디에이터 시스템이 연구되고 있고 현재의 미디에이터 시스템은 관리자가 각 데이터베이스의 구조화 내용을 알고 직접 통합시킬 뷰를 생성하고 있다. 또한 데이터를 통합시키기 위하여 생성한 뷰 관리에도 수정(modification)만을 지원하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존의 다양한 환경의 데이타베이스를 CORBA를 사용하여 구축하고 웹과 연결함으로써 사용자가 다양하게 원하는 정보를 얻을 수 있고 통합된 뷰 관리를 수정(modification)과 구체화(materialization)의 두 가지 방법으로 관리하여 효율성을 높이도록 한다.

본 논문은 조명 변화, 표정 변화, 부분적인 오클루전이 있는 얼굴 영상에 강인하고 적은 메모리양과 계산량을 갖는 효율적인 얼굴 인식 방법을 제안한다. SKKUface(Sungkyunkwan University face)라 명명한 이 방법은 먼저 훈련 영상에 PCA(principal component analysis)를 적용하여 차원을 줄일 때 구해지는 특징 벡터 공간에서 조명 변화, 얼굴 표정 변화 등에 해당되는 공간이 최대한 제외된 새로운 특징 벡터 공간을 생성한다. 이러한 특징 벡터 공간은 얼굴의 고유특징만을 주로 포함하는 벡터 공간이므로 이러한 벡터 공간에 Fisher linear discriminant를 적용하면 클래스간의 더욱 효과적인 분리가 이루어져 인식률을 획기적으로 향상시킨다. 또한, SKKUface 방법은 클래스간 분산(between-class covariance) 행렬과 클래스내 분산(within-class covariance) 행렬을 계산할 때 문제가 되는 메모리양과 계산 시간을 획기적으로 줄이는 방법을 제안하여 적용하였다. 제안된 SKKUface 방법의 얼굴 인식 성능을 평가하기 위하여 YALE, SKKU, ORL(Olivetti Research Laboratory) 얼굴 데이타베이스를 가지고 기존의 얼굴 인식 방법으로 널리 알려진 Eigenface 방법, Fisherface 방법과 함께 인식률을 비교 평가하였다. 실험 결과, 제안된 SKKUface 방법이 조명 변화, 부분적인 오클루전이 있는 얼굴 영상에 대해서 Eigenface 방법과 Fisherface 방법에 비해 인식률이 상당히 우수함을 알 수 있었다.

In distributed environments, the DB secure models have been being studied to include the multi-level mechanism which is effective to control access according to the level of the data value. These mechanisms have the problems. The first, it is impossible to maintain the global data which is protected in the multi-level mechanism. The second, the access and the relation of the data is not clear due to the access revocation between the local data and the global's. In this paper, we proposed the mechanism using shema. The mechanism doesn't have the access revocation, and provides the protection of the data and the control to the global data.

With the advances in multimedia databases on the World Wide Web, it becomes more important to provide users with the search capability of distributed multimedia data. While there have been many studies about the database selection and the collection fusion for text databases. The multimedia databases on the Web have autonomous and heterogeneous properties and they use mainly the content based retrieval. The collection fusion problem of multimedia databases is concerned with the merging of results retrieved by content based retrieval from heterogeneous multimedia databases on the Web. This problem is crucial for the search in distributed multimedia databases, however, it has not been studied yet. This paper provides novel algorithms for processing the collection fusion of heterogeneous multimedia databases on the Web. We propose two heuristic algorithms for estimating the number of objects to be retrieved from local databases and an algorithm using the linear regression. Extensive experiments show the effectiveness and efficiency of these algorithms. These algorithms can provide the basis for the distributed content based retrieval algorithms for multimedia databases on the Web.

A process control graphic system is proposed as an efficient tool for monitoring the operation of power plant. It uses the multi-processor structure with 60 Kbyte shared memory as an implemental type of the distributed computer system, so that it is flexible, functionally extensible, and applicable to real-time process. The shared memory is used as a real-time database handling the process values and operator's commands. The database files, generated by the user-interactive graphic editor developed for the system or text editor, have the characteristics of simplicity and user-friendliness. The process control graphic system, that can monitor the operation of boiler and function as a backup controller in case of failure in boiler controller, is applied to Ulsan power plant. As a result, it displays the operating data of the boiler process without error by 14 pages of color graphic image according to the operation menu, and additionally functions well as a fault-tolerant control system.

In wireless sensor networks, various schemes have been proposed to store and process sensed data efficiently. A Data-Centric Storage(DCS) scheme assigns distributed data regions to sensors and stores sensed data to the sensor which is responsible for the data region overlapping the data. The DCS schemes have been proposed to reduce the communication cost for transmitting data and process exact queries and range queries efficiently. Recently, KDDCS that readjusts the distributed data regions dynamically to sensors based on K-D tree was proposed to overcome the storage hot-spots. However, the existing DCS schemes including KDDCS suffer from Query Hot-Spots that are formed if the query regions are not uniformly distributed. As a result, it causes reducing the life time of the sensor network. In this paper, we propose a new DCS scheme, called TPDCS(Time-Parameterized DCS), that avoids the problems of storage hot-spots and query hot-spots. To decentralize the skewed. data and queries, the data regions are assigned by a time dimension as well as data dimensions in our proposed scheme. Therefore, TPDCS extends the life time of sensor networks. It is shown through various experiments that our scheme outperform the existing schemes.

As XML is becoming a de facto standard for distribution and sharing of information, the need for an efficient yet secure access of XML data has become very important. To enforce the fine-level granularity requirement, authorization models for regulating access to XML documents use XPath which is a standard for specifying parts of XML data and a suitable language for both query processing. An access control environment for XML documents and some techniques to deal with authorization priorities and conflict resolution issues are proposed. Despite this, relatively little work has been done to enforce access controls particularly for XML databases in the case of query access. Developing an efficient mechanism for XML databases to control query-based access is therefore the central theme of this paper. This work is a proposal for an efficient yet secure XML access control system. The basic idea utilized is that a user query interaction with only necessary access control rules is modified to an alternative form which is guaranteed to have no access violations using tree-aware metadata of XML schemes and set operators supported by XPath 2.0. The scheme can be applied to any XML database management system and has several advantages over other suggested schemes. These include implementation easiness, small execution time overhead, fine-grained controls, and safe and correct query modification. The experimental results clearly demonstrate the efficiency of the approach.

Recently, many researches into distributed processing on Internet, and multimedia data processing have been performed. Rapid and convenient multimedia services supplied with high quality and high speed are to be needed. In this paper, we design and implement clip-based video retrieval system on the Web enviroment in real-time. Our system consists of the content-based indexing system supporting convenient services for video content providers, and the Web-based retrieval system in order to make it easy and various information retrieval for users in the Web. Three important methods are used in the content-based indexing system, key frame extracting method by dividing video data, clip file creation method by clustering related information, and video database construction method by using clip unit. In Web-based retrieval system, retrieval method ny using a key word, two dimension browsing method of key frame, and real-time display method of the clip are used. In this paper, we design and implement the system that supports real-time display method of the clip are used. In this paper, we design and implement the system that supports real-time retrieval for video clips on Web environment and provides the multimedia service in stability. The proposed methods show a usefulness of video content providing, and provide an easy method for serching intented video content.

A lot of work has been done to reduce disk access time in I/O intensive systems, which store and handle massive amount of data, by distributing data across multiple disks and accessing them in parallel. Most of the previous work has focused on an efficient mapping from a grid cell to a disk number on the assumption that data space is regular grid-like partitioned. Although we can achieve good performance for low-dimensional data by grid-like partitioning, its performance becomes degenerate as grows the dimension of data even with a good disk allocation scheme. This comes from the fact that they partition entire data space equally regardless of distribution ratio of data objects. Most of the data in high-dimensional space exist around the surface of space. For that reason, we propose a new declustering algorithm based on the partitioning scheme which partition data space from the surface. With an unbalanced partitioning scheme, several experimental results show that we can remarkably reduce the number of data blocks touched by a query as grows the dimension of data and a query size. In this paper, we propose disk allocation schemes based on the layout of the resultant data blocks after partitioning. To show the performance of the proposed algorithm, we have performed several experiments with different dimensional data and for a wide range of number of disks. Our proposed disk allocation method gives a performance within 10 additive disk accesses compared with strictly optimal allocation scheme. We compared our algorithm with Kronecker sequence based declustering algorithm, which is reported to be the best among the grid partition and mapping function based declustering algorithms. We can improve declustering performance up to 14 times as grows dimension of data.

In distributed HLR environment, the pointer forwarding with distributed HLR(Pointer Forwarding Scheme) has been proposed for eliminating the cost of updating multiple HLRs. In Pointer Forwarding Scheme, the find cost can be changed according to from which HLR a call originates. If a user changes PCS registration areas frequently, but receives calls relatively infrequently, and call for such a user originates from any other HLRs than the recently updated HLR, many VLRs should be traversed in order to find that user. In this paper, location tracking with jumping pointer in distributed HLR(Jumping Pointer Scheme) is proposed. The jumping pointer can be connected between the recently updated VLR and the VLR in which the mobile host currently resides. In case of call delivery, the mobile host can be found sooner by using the jumping pointer. In terms of 'find' cost, Jumping Pointer scheme improves about 17% over Forwarding Pointer scheme. Otherwise, Jumping Pointer scheme takes additional update charge in order to manage the jumping pointer. However the total costs of 'find' cost and 'update' cost for Jumping Pointer scheme are cheaper than them for Forwarding Pointer scheme when call-to-mobility ratio is smaller.
